BISS 04.25.12 - Eddie Roberts / Mark Karan / Guitarmageddon / Orgone / DANGERATE / Happy 5 Years Afrolicious!!


HAPPY JAZZFEST BISS LISTERS!! That's right, the time is here and even though some of us can't be there for all of it or any of it, we still gotta recognize the incredible amount of music happening in the Crescent city! Watch for the NOLA BISS Special Edition to come out tomorrow via email then keep checking the web page for updates!! http://livebisslist.blogspot.com/p/nola-biss-2012.html

For those of you staying here, have no fear, this is San Francisco, and the music is always a plenty!!

Tonight, we head to Marin first for the last Mark Karan "Wednesday Night Live" until June. Show is from 9 - 12. Lots of special guests! None of those excuses about it being a school night! 

For some of us, that's too early to call it a night even if it IS a Wednesday! So we head back to the city for more!

What better way for a musician to celebrate his birthday than to throw a party? It's Eddie Robert's birthday and the party is tonight at Brick & Mortar with EDDIE ROBERTS & ROUGHNECK. This show will be so rocking it will make your mustache curl. Happy Birthday Eddie!! (*Congrats Pete M & Suzan A!)

Are you going to Yoshi's tonight for WIL BERNARD, WIL BLADES & SIMON LOTT? (*Congrats Jason P!) That's also an early show!! Simon says, "Head to Yoshi's and watch us get down!"

Torn between Yoshi's and Brick & Mortar? No worries! Your ticket from the Yoshi's show will get you into Brick and Mortar. That's what Sunny likes to call a twofer!

Thursday, the party place to be is The Elbo Room as AFROLICIOUS hosts their first of two nights celebrating their 5 YEAR anniversary. The BISS crew sends huge congrats to the Afrolicious crew!! Thank you for taking us there for five years! Whoop whoop!!!!!!!!! *WIN*

Oh, but there is still more more more on Thursday night! In the North Bay, our friend Asher Fulero is here in town at Sweetwater Music Hall with the Fulero Lehe Band for the release of their CD Cocoon. (*WIN) Check out what Dennis Cook with Jambase had to say about this project!!

Friday night, the BISS crew (those of us left in town that is) will divide our time between the slaying licks of THE SECOND ANNUAL GUITARMIGGEDON featuring SEAN LEAHY TRIO at Slim's (*WIN) and the booty shaken beats of ORGONE at The Great American Music Hall!! (*WIN)

In the city on Saturday, BAYONICS is at the Elbo Room. Or switch it up and check out the COMEDY SHOWCASE at 50 Mason. No matter where you start you are going to want to end up at The Boom Boom Room for THE NIBBLERS, going late night of course. (*WIN)

Sunday, the BISS crew is going to put on our proudest smiles and head to Cafe du Nord for DANGERATE plus INSPECTOR GADJE. We have been waiting for this show for some time to see our young friend Daniel Cohen rock the drums on a real stage. We can't wait to see the boys of DANGERATE shred it!! 

Don't forget about MIKE OLMOS's new gig at The Union Room every Monday.

Those of you who are already there, have a blast at Jazz Fest and represent for the BISS crew!! I'll be heading that way the end of next week so our lovely Vice President of Awesomeness aka VPOA aka Diaries of a Tenderloin Princess aka Sunny, will be sending you your weekly BISS List!


BISS...
                                 ....it's kind of a big deal.

BISS 04.19.12 - New Monsoon / Infamous Stringdusters & DWC / STS9 / Poor Man's Whiskey / Lotus / Katdelic / Eddie Roberts!!


Happy 420 BISS Listers!! Only one week to go til Jazz Fest.  Be sure to check the NOLA BISS 2012 page posted on www.bisslist.com to see where your faves are playing. We aren't trying to recreate the grids, just highlighting some of the best from the submissions you sent us so far!  (Plus ticket giveaways!!)   If you have one of those off the beaten path gems that we should be including, please send it over!

Want music now? No problem!! We have plenty of music going on right here at home this weekend. We started our musical weekend early with BISS favorite Eddie Roberts playing last night at Brick and Mortar. Missed it?  There is still one more chance to catch Eddie Roberts Roughneck featuring Eddie Roberts & backed by members of Ozomatli and Jazz Mafia next Wednesday again (*WIN)!!

Tonight, Thursday, Mercedes-Benz of San Francisco hosts Sip & Savor, a delightful wine tasting and culinary event at their headquarters to support youth programming at the Mission YMCA. The Mission YMCA works with over 3,000 local families to provide quality before and after school care, teen enrichment programs, summer camps, and youth sports programs.  

Then we are off to the Fillmore to get old school with Squeeze. Congrats Henry W and Mike S! Then we can go get nasty with THE REAL NASTY right across the street at Boom Boom Room. (*WIN)

Friday night, we head over the GG Bridge for NEW MONSOON at The Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley!  Should be a great night of music and good friends! Happy Birthday to Tony & Paula!

If you are staying in the city on Friday, you must be going to The Infamous Stringdusters and Dead Winter Carpenters at the Independent (*WIN) followed by Vinyl at the Boom Boom Room. (*WIN)

If you are in the East Bay on Friday and/or Saturday this weekend, you must be going to STS9!! Represent BISS crew!!

Saturday, we are getting out of the city again and this time for something totally different!!  Remember the local Drive-In? Mom's station wagon, a blanket and some popcorn in the back? Well, I'm clearing out the back of my station wagon this Saturday to go see ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. North bay crew, whose in?  

The plan is to book it back to the city in time for Lotus at the Fillmore. Congrats Killian M and Matthew T!  Then cat ears on for Katdelic right across the street at Boom Boom Room! Meow! (*WIN)

We could also stay in Marin for Everyone Orchestra at Sweetwater. OR go further north for Mother Hips at Hopmonk. OR head to the East Bay for Melvin Seals & JGB. (*WIN) That is of course if you aren't already at the Fox for Soundtribe... Like I said P L E N T Y of music this weekend!!

Then Sunday, for Earth day there is an Earth Ball kickball game in the panhandle at 10:30, then a block party and beach clean-up with Surfrider & Trumer at Ocean Beach featuring the Mermen and of course the big SF celebration down at the Civic Center Plaza.  (I'm leaning towards the Beach Block Party with the Mermen)

Monday Mr. WARREN HAYNES is doing a free show at Amoeba.  That should be insane! Then Tuesday is Dr. Lonnie Smith at Yoshi's. Then Wednesday is Eddie Roberts at Brick & Mortar. Then...

You'll just have to check your BISS again next week!!
